Chloe + Isabel Nail Polish Trio

Good morning dears!  It's Monday, boo.  Thankfully I have a pretty little nail polish trio to share with you today.  Maybe it will make your day better.  I'm not sure if you've heard of Chloe + Isabel before.  It's a fun fashion jewelry brand that has recently ventured out into makeup, bags, candles, accessories and....nail polish!  I've been a merchandiser since 2011 and love having the perfect piece of jewelry to wear with every outfit, but I did feel the brand was missing something.  I'm really happy they expanded their product line up.  Once I saw they had a nail polish kit I had to snatch that up right away.  You can purchase this trio for yourself or as a gift for $28.  From now until 12/28 you can save 25% site wide with the code FFHOL25.  Let's jump in and check out the polish!

Girly Bits Cosmetics: Limited Edition November 2016 Colour of the Month Duo, Every Day I'm Truffling & The Fuchsia Is Ours

Good morning again!  I dread Thursday.  It's my busiest day of the week.  I end up sitting in the car for at least 3 hours shuttling my kids around from practice to practice and don't get home until almost 8pm.  Thank goodness it's the last time I have to do the soccer rush for a while.  Fall sports season is finally winding down, yay!  But the Fall polish season is still in full swing.  This morning I have the Girly Bits November Colour Of The Month Duo to show you.  They're both gorgeous shades that play well together.  The November COTM Duo will be available in 2 rounds, the first from 11/6 - 11/10.  The early bird round saves you $2 making the duo $31.  The 2nd round starts on 11/24 and polish will be remaining stock...once it runs out it's gone for good.  Be sure to set your alarms because you don't want to miss out on either of these!

Howdy howdy dears!  Popping in with another post to share with you.  Powder Perfect launched her Egyptology collection back in late August and I have a couple of the polishes to share with you.  I actually got to meet Jacinta at Cocktails and Colors in Las Vegas, what a doll she is!  And he makes some killer polish.  She also has some pretty amazing stamping plates too!  The Egyptology collection is inspired by the sands and pyramids, the mystery that surrounds Egypt.  I've always been fascinated with Egypt and would love to go see the pyramids, so this collection really grabbed my attention.  The Egyptology collection features a unique hybrid formula called holo-twist.  It's a fine microglitter polish crossed with holo lacquer for a smooth finish.  The Egyptology collection is available now for $13 AUD/USD.

Sweet Heart Polish LE Monthlies; January 2016 & February 2016

Good morning dears!  Last week of February.  How fast did that go by?  Too fast.  I enjoyed a week off from the normal hustle and bustle but we are back to the daily routine of school and sports and taxi mom life and errands.  Le sigh, Summer you are still too far away.  But oh hey, I have some beautiful polish to show you so I'll stop gabbing about things I can't change.  Sweet Heart Polish is releasing monthly polishes this year and I have the first two to share with you.  The monthly polishes are limited edition and small batch so you definitely don't want to wait around your laurels or you may find yourself hitting up the sale boards in search of them.  January 2016 and February 2016 both launched on 2/15/16 but don't fret - there are still some bottles available for each color.  You can pick yours up for $10 USD each.  So let's jump in and check out the review!

Hella Holo Customs; Vapid Lacquer One Love & Smitten Polish One Heart

Good morning beauties!  I have a beautiful duo to share with you today.  I can't recall exactly when I picked this up, but it definitely wasn't a Valentine's Day set, but it should be because it's totally perfect - colors, names, finishes!  So beautiful and romantic.  So I'm a member of this secret club called Hella Holo Customs.  The first rule is you don't talk about Hella Holo Customs.  Haha, just kidding.  Though I have no idea if they are adding members or not at the moment...if they are you want to join.  It's essentially this group that has makers come up with fantastic holos and each month there are new group customs.  Well whenever Smitten was involved you know I was in line!  I figured I love red and hadn't tried Vapid Lacquer (and the nail world is all a fuss over this brand at the moment) so I got it too.  I mean hey, they were created as a duo.  So let's go ahead and delve in and check out One Love and One Heart.  And just because the names are so perfect - here's the Bob Marley song that immediately comes to mind...One Love.  Enjoy the tunes while you look at my swatches!  Let's get together and feel alright! <3

ellagee 2016 Pantone Duo; Blue Bella & A Breath Of Pink

Good morning lovelies!  Last month the new Pantone color was revealed.  But it wasn't just 1 color this year, it was 2, yay!  Actually I have heard a lot of grumbling about the colors selected; Rose Quartz and Serenity.  Truthfully I am not a huge fan of their selections either, but I think both shades are perfect for the Spring and together they make for great nail art!  ellagee took that inspiration and came up with 2 great crellies, full of soft and subtle with matching shimmer.   Blue Bella and A Breath Of Pink will both be available on Saturday 1/23 at 3pm Central.  They will be $10.50 USD each.   So let's delve into the post and we can take a look at both colors and some easy nail art I did with them together.
